Purple Heart recipient Robert Gillespie was wounded by a roadside bomb. He said when you're in combat, it's important not to think about the risks.

"You want to think about what your mission is, to clear the road. It's one of those things that's going to happen to a lot of your guys. A lot of us got hit over that year. It's one of those things that does happen and goes along with the job," he said.
